Re: Mac admits using steroids...
He should of done it awhile back, but at least he did it probably because of his coaching position and wants to get it off his chest before the start of the season.

Agree! But give me a break! Cheating has gone on in baseball for a while now (all different types of cheating).
So if this is cheating and they shouldn't go in the Hall of Fame, then the other ways pitchers cheated and other players, etc., should also count when considered for the Hall of Fame.
Cheating is cheating!

Re: Mac admits using steroids...
This is becoming a media circus now. He admitted to the 'roids and now let's move on. It seems every time another guy talks about PEDs the sports channels and news shows become obsessed with it.
McGwire gave more info and specifics than any other ballplayer that I can remember except Canseco.
Is he being singled out and being made into the Steroid poster boy now?
Based on his college and Rookie production where he was 'roid free, I still feel he was one of the greatest HR hitters in the game if he had never touched steroids, but unfortunately we will never know what his career numbers would have been without PEDs.
A real shame....

Joe Morgan, a Hall of Famer and the board’s vice chairman, feels bad for players who didn’t use performance enhancers.

The worst kept secret in America is now finally revealed. Good for Mac. Loved him when he was with the A's.
I wonder how much longer Bonds, Clemens, et al will keep up their charade...[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]www.alamedasportsproject.com

What! Big Mac did what? No way! This can't be true! Did anyone else see this coming?

Re: Mac admits using steroids...
a damn shame...thats all there is too say. I was a Mac supporter for years through all of this; giving him the benefit of the doubt. Mac, Bonds, Manny, Raffy, Arod...all busted. What a sad day for baseball. If this was the olympics they all would've been stripped of whatever glory/awards they won as well as there teams. WTF baseball?!? This one hurts.
I do maintain my argument that as a professional athelete you are paid to be bigger and stronger, so over a 10-20 year career they should become larger then life. And yes, while steriods can't give you the ability to hit a ball, it can definately help you to become a freak.
Chalk another one up to Canseco.
I wonder if this effects his status with the Cards or if he was asked to come clean by them?! What prompted this?
<sigh>

Re: Mac admits using steroids...
Wow what a shock! Not! He was one of my favorite players I spent 100s on a baseball from his Steiner signing and I realize many players used in that era but to me he is still not a hall of famer. Big Mac did very little besides hit home runs and it is impossible to know how many of them were tainted. He never won an MVP, did not reach 2,000 hits, had a very low batting average, no speed and struck out a ton. He won a Gold Glove but he was not exactly Eddie Murray with the glove.
